(Below is an excerpt from Pastor’s book, “How To Triumph in Troubled Times”)
I can also walk in trust and faith, even in a world where the threat of terrorism exists. Jesus said, “. . . Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). See to it. Apply yourself to this. Every day choose to trust God no matter what happens.
Psalms 37:1 says “Fret not thyself because of evildoers . . .” In fact, if you read Psalms 37 and Psalms 73, the Bible tells us that one day you will look for the wicked and you will not even be able to find them. They look like they are flourishing, but they will not last. Anytime you have a bad day, you should carefully and prayerfully read Psalms 37 and Psalms 73. Those are powerful portions of God’s Word that tell you that God brings the righteous out in victory.
Fret not yourself. Do not let yourself be caught up in the pressure cooker of the world. You can sing and rejoice in the craziest circumstances. You might have a supervisor that is rubbing you like sandpaper, but just get that believer’s grin on your face and in your heart say, “I choose to trust and not be troubled!”
